Stephen Goldsack
(1741-1809) married Ann Birch 7 January 1768 at Folkestone.Ann was born in 1740 and died in 1803.
Stephen died at Woolwich in 1809. There is speculation that Stephen may be a
son of George (1708), the son of PetterGouldsacke (1679) and Sarah Arthur (1675). George was
married to Ann Austin on 20 Oct 1740 at Kennington
(near Ashford). At the time of their marriage George was described as being
“of High Halden”(also near Ashford). While there
has been no evidence found that definitively links George to Stephen (yet!)
it is interesting to note that George (1708) was a member of the Ashford
congregation of Baptists.Many of
Stephen’s descendants were baptised and married in the Baptist church in
Woolwich.Also, it is interesting to
note that the naming pattern of Stephen’s eldest children is consistent with
his being a child of George and Ann.

The information presented on this page is derived from the
work of Margaret and Arthur Jackson and from files sent to me by Jim Goldsack
from Atlanta, Georgia.I’ve added the Coveney
information provided by Tom Brennan and material from the 1881 and 1901 UK
Census.

Children
of George and Sarah Clarke: Note: there were two George Goldsacks
at Woolwich in 1841, both married to Sarah.

Warden Goldsack (son of George Robert ) his great grandfather was the
inventor of ‘The Forge’, a 6boro
cannon. There is reportedly a painting by James Sharples
that shows the Forge at Woolwich Arsenal, with the inventor George Goldsack(1795).

ATTENTION, WE NEED
YOUR HELP: There is great interest in determining the validity of the claim
that George Goldsack invented the ‘Forge’. Also in locating the Sharples painting. In Wilbur Goldsack's
MS on "The Family of Goldsack ThanetKent", he mentions that the Sharples'
painting "is preserved by the family". Please, if you know anything
about this story contact me with the details.Note: it is possible that the painting
was the work of Paul Sandby
